Fred Klonsky posted his viewpoint on Barack Obama College Preparatory School and Obama’s silence on a Supreme Court decision on Affirmative Action.
President Obama, however much I disagree with his education policies, is entitled to his opinion…whether it be for or against Affirmative Action. I presume he is for it, but chose not to speak out at this particular decision. I really don’t recall him speaking out on much regarding Supreme Court decisions— so because he’s black, he should speak out on this particular decision?
Perhaps I’m misinterpreting things…but this piece just struck me wrong.
As a side note~ Cabrini Green? Really? That was the housing project that was famously featured when former Chicago Mayor Jane Byrne *cough* moved in….the press was all over it…but what they forgot to tell people was that she wasn’t moving in as in moving all her household…but rather, she kinda sorta stayed there one night a week./snark
Or perhaps it was a few hours in the daytime./snarkier
Or perhaps she just drove past the place…on her way to her real home…./snarkiest
We need jobs, not eggs. Funny how it’s been thirty years and not much has changed, eh?
Oh, wait…
Rahm builds an elite high school on this historical spot….not only do you not get jobs, but you get thrown out.
